An Ordinance
Authorizing the Re-Issue of Tax Anticipation War-

the taxes in anticipation of which said warrants
were issued have not been received by the City;
and
Whereas, It is now deemed expedient to convert
said tax anticipation warrants into money for the
restoration of the funds invested in said tax an-
ticipation warrants for use for the particular pur-
poses for which said funds were set aside; now
therefore,
Be It Ordained by the City Council of the City of
Chicago :
Section 1. The City Comptroller and the City
Treasurer hereby are authorized to issue and sell
new warrants, as provided in Section 15-9 of the

lowing original tax anticipation warrants heretofore
issued by the City of Chicago and now held as an

The authority to issue the original warrants
above described hereby is reaffirmed in all respects.
Section 2. The new warrants hereby author-
ized to be issued and sold shall be of a like prin-
cipal amount, for the same purpose and in anticipa-
tion of the same taxes as the original warrants

sions in Sections 15-6 and 15-7 of the Revised

tion of $1000 or multiples thereof, shall bear in-
terest not to exceed four percent per annum from

City Comptroller at not less than the par value
thereof and accrued interest from the date thereof.
Section 3. Simultaneously with the delivery of
and receipt of payment for any of the new tax
anticipation warrants, a like principal amount of
the original warrants that were issued against the
same tax that is anticipated by the new warrants,
together with so much of the interest accrued
thereon as the proceeds of the sale of the new tax
anticipation warrants will permit, shall be paid and
cancelled.
The proceeds of the sale of the new tax anticipa-
tion warrants shall be paid to the City Treasurer

dorse thereon the amount paid and the date of pay-
ment in the following order: (1) the principal
amount so paid and (2) the amount of accrued
interest paid. The City Treasurer shall also endorse
upon the original tax anticipation warrants the
amount of interest accrued thereon and unpaid, and
the same shall not be paid until all principal and
interest upon the new warrants shall be fully paid
or until money has been set aside for payment
thereof, if the new warrants are not presented for
payment after they are called for redemption.

and after its passage and approval.

The property involved in the litigation is located

the plaintiffs are engaged in manufacturing opera-

In our letter of November 30, 1955, we informed

plaintiffs' prayers for permanent injunction and
properly restrained them from using the premises
in violation of section 12 ( 2 ) of the Chicago Zoning
Ordinance and section 99-60 of the Municipal Code.
The action of the Supreme Court of the United

clusion."

"Gentlemen — At a meeting of the Chicago Areo

Whereas, the rapid growth of traffic at Meigs

tion of the Control Tower could be used advan-
tageously for other needed activities at the field;
and
Whereas, the present traffic at Meigs Field
places it eleventh in volume of traffic among the

JOURNAL— CITY COUNCILr— CHICAGO
May 9, 1956
The above elevations as fixed shall be measured
from Chicago City datum as established by the
City Council of the City of Chicago.
The roadway(s) of the street(s) heretofore
specified between the points herein described, also
the roadway (s) intersecting alley (s) extended
from the curb line to the street line on each side
of said specified street (s) between the points here-
in described, after removing trees therefrom, shall
be so graded by cutting or filling and compacted by
rolling with a roller of ten (10) tons weight that
after the grading of the roadbed (s) is completed
and the pavement herein described placed thereon,
the surface of the finished pavement at the center
of the roadway of each of said specified street (s)
shall be at the elevation of the top of the curbing
herein described; and the surface of the said fin-
ished pavement at the summits in the gutters be-
tween catchbasins and adjoining the roadway face
of the curbing shall be three (3) inches below the
top of said curbing, and at the catchbasin inlets in
the gutters adjoining the roadway face of the curb-
ing shall be nine (9) inches below the top of said
curbing. The slope of the gutters adjoining the
roadway face of said curbing shall be uniform
from the summits to the catchbasin inlets.
A transverse section of the surface of the fin-
ished pavement and gutters shall be an arc of a
circle passing through the said gutter elevations
and the elevation of the center of said finished
roadway at every part of the roadway of said
specified street (s) between the points herein de-
scribed.
In all intersecting alley (s) herein specified at
the street line(s) of said specified street (s) the
surface of the finished pavement adjoining the
curbing shall be even with the top of the curbing,
and the surface of the finished pavement at the
center of the roadway (s) of said alley (s) shall be
three (3) inches below the top of the curbing:
and a transverse section of the surface of the
finished pavement at the street line(s) of said
specified street (s) shall be an arc of a circle pass-
ing through the surface of the pavement adjoining
said curbing and the surface of the pavement at
the center of said finished roadway (s). The sur-
face of the said pavement thence shall slope gradu-
ally to meet the surface of the finished pavement
at the curb lines of said specified street (s).
On the sub-grade as formed and compacted shall
be spread an insulation course of limestone screen-
ings. Said insulation course shall be one (1) inch
in thickness and shall extend across the full width
of the roadbed.
On the insulation course as formed and com-
pacted shall be spread a foundation course consist-
ing of a layer of crushed limestone of the best
quality, broken so as to pass through a ring of
four (4) inches internal diameter and held on a
ring of two (2) inches internal diameter. The stone
as spread shall be well graded as to sizes. It shall
be evenly distributed so as to leave no pockets
filled with the small size stone. This layer shall
be thoroughly rolled with a self-propelled three-
wheel roller, weighing not less than ten (10) tons.
The rolling shall begin at the edges of the pave-
ment and the roller shall move parallel with the
center line of the roadway. The roller shall prog-
ress gradually toward the center of the roadway,
uniformly lapping each preceding track, covering
the entire surface with the rear wheels and con-
tinuing until the stone does not creep or move
ahead of the roller. After the crushed limestone
has been thoroughly rolled and keyed, limestone
screenings shall be applied gradually over the sur-
face and the rolling continued until suflacient
screenings have been applied to completely fill the
interstices.
The screenings shall be swept in with hand
brooms to properly fill the voids. The spreading
and rolling shall continue until no more screenings
will go in dry. No excess of screenings shall be
used before applying water. Immediately after the
voids have been filled with screenings, the macadam
shall be sprinkled until saturated, the sprinkler
being followed by a roller. More screenings shall
be added if necessary. The sprinkling, sweeping
and rolling shall continue until a grout shall be
formed of the screenings and water that will fill
all voids, and form a wave of grout before the
wheels of the roller. The quantity of screenings
and water necessary to fill the voids shall be deter-
mined by the engineer and shall be sufficient to
produce a rough, granular surface. The rolling, at
all times, shall begin at the sides, and then prog-
ress toward the center, thoroughly covering the
entire surface with the rear wheels. When com-
pacted, this layer shall measure not less than five
(5) inches in thickness.
Upon the finished waterbound macadam base
there shall be uniformly applied by an approved
type of spreader box, two (2) inch stone to a
depth providing a total base course thickness of
three (3) inches after final compaction. After
shaping to grade and rolling with' a ten (10) ton
roller three quarter (34) inch stone chips shall be
broadcast and broomed into the surface voids at
the rate of fifteen (15) pounds per square yard.
Liquid asphalt at a temperature of 140° F. shall
be uniformly applied by a pressure distributor at
a rate of one and one-half (1^/2) gallons per square
yard. Stone chips shall again be broadcast and
broomed uniformly over the surface at the rate of
fifteen (15) pounds per square yard. Liquid as-
phalt shall be uniformly applied by a pressure
distributor at the rate of one-half (1/2) gallon per
square yard. Stone chips shall be broadcast again
at the rate of ten (10) pounds per square yard.
The surface shall then be thoroughly rolled. The
asphalt shall conform to the State Specifications
for Emulsified AsDhalt R.S.I, and R.S.2 Page 640
State of Illinois Standard Specifications for Road
and Bridge Construction adopted January 2, 1952.
On the said foundation course shall be placed
an asphaltic concrete surface course two (2)
inches in thickness consisting of an asphaltic con-
crete mixture conforming to the standard require-
ments of the Illinois State Division of Highways
for Type I-II Asphaltic Concrete adopted January
2, 1952, as follows: the asphaltic mix shall consist
of a mineral aggregate bonded with an asphaltic
cement. The mineral aggregate shall consist of
the best quality of crushed gravel or crushed stone
in sizes graduated in accordance with the follow-
ing table, viz:
Asphaltic Concrete Surface Courses, Fine
Dense-Graded Aggregate Type
Passing 1/2 inch sieve 95-100%

No. 200 sieve 5-13%
Passing No. 200 sieve 4-8%
Bitumen 5-7%
(Table 45.11 p. 247 State Specifications.)
The asphaltic cement shall conform with the
standard requirements of the Illinois State Division
of Highways for Grade P.A. 6, Paving Asphalt,
adopted January 2, 1952. It shall have a flash
point (Cleveland open cup) 500 plus Fahrenheit.
It shall have penetration at seventy-seven (77)
degrees Fahrenheit of seventy-five (75) to eighty-
five (85), and at least ninety-nine and five-tenths
(99.5) per cent of the bitumen shall be soluble in
carbon disulphide.
When fifty (50) grams of said paving asphalt
is heated in an uncovered tin box five and one-half
(51/2) centimeters in diameter and three and one-
half (31/2) centimeters in depth, and is held at a
temperature of three hundred twenty -five (325)
degrees fahrenheit for five (5) hours, then it shall
have lost not over two (2) per cent by weight and
the penetration of the residue thus obtained shall
not be less than seventy (70) per cent of the pene-
tration before such heating, said penetration being
determined as herein prescribed. Said paving as-
phalt shall have a ductility of not less than one
hundred (100) centimeters being determined by
elongating a briquette Dow form of said paving
asphalt at uniform rate of five (5) centimeters
per minute at a temperature of seventy-seven (77)
degrees fahrenheit.
The paving asphalt and mineral aggregate shall
be mixed when heated between three himdred
(300) and three hundred fifty (350) degrees fah-
renheit in an approved mixer to produce a homo-
geneous mixture in which all particles of aggregate
are coated uniformly. The heated mixture shall be
delivered to the pavement in trucks with approved
clean tight dump bodies. The temperature when
delivered at the street shall be between two hun-
dred fifty (250) and three hundred fifty (350)
degrees fahrenheit. Upon arrival the aspaltic mix-
ture shall be spread upon the prepared base at a
uniform depth and consistency so that the thick-
ness when compacted as herein described will be
two (2) inches. Immediately after the asphalt
surface course shall be spread it shall be compacted
thoroughly and uniformly with a three (3) wheel
roller or a tandem roller. The asphalt paving mix
shall be dumped first upon approved steel dump
pans outside of the area on which it is to be
spread. Immediately thereafter it shall be distrib-
uted into place with shovels and spread with rakes
in layers of uniform density and correct depth,
unless a spreading machine is used. If a spreading
machine is used it shall be of a type approved by
the Board of Local Improvements. Immediately
after the surface course mixture is placed it shall
be compacted thoroughly and uniformly with a
three-wheel roller or a tandem roller. One (1) or
more three-wheel rollers, and one (1) or more tan-
dem rollers will be required. The actual number
of such rollers to be used shall be determined by
the Engineer in accordance with the progress of
the work. If the production of the asphalt plant
delivered to the pavement exceeds seventy-five
(75) tons per hour additional rollers shall be fur-
nished as directed by said Engineer. After final
rolling the asphalt surface sourse shall at all points
have a density of not less than ninety-five (95)
per cent of the maximum possible density of a
voidless pavement composed of the same materials
in like proportions.
Concrete cross-walks shall be built at intersec-
tions only. Concrete cross-walks shall be built ac-
cording to the Standard City Code of the City of
Chicago.
The concrete shall conform to Class X Concrete
(as described in this ordinance for curbs and
gutters) .
All existing catchbasins which are to be aban-
doned are located at the intersections of streets.
Where existing catchbasins are to be abandoned
the outlet pipe connection from the catchbasin to
the sewer shall be plugged and properly sealed and
the corbel courses broken down and the catchbasin
cleaned and filled with suitable material.
Said work is to be done in a workmanlike manner
under the superintendence of the Board of Local
Improvements of the said City of Chicago.
Section 2. That the recommendation of the
Board of Local Improvements of the City of
Chicago, providing for said improvement, together
with the estimate of the cost hereof, including the
lawful expenses attending the same, made by the
engineer of said Board both hereto attached, be

Section 3. That said improvement shall be made
and the cost thereof, including the lawful expenses
attending the same, be paid by special assessment
in accordance with an Act of the General Assembly
of the State of Illinois, entitled, "An Act Concern-
ing Local Improvements," approved June 14th,
A. D. 1897, and the amendments thereto, and that
of said special assessment the sum of Eleven
Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Eight and No One-
Hundredths Dollars ($11,178.00) not exceeding five
(5) per centum of the amount of said assessment
as finally determined after the completion of said
improvement in accordance with Section 84 of said
Act, shall be applied toward the payment of the
cost of making, levying and collecting said special
assessment, and of letting and executing contracts,
advertising, clerical hire, engineering and inspec-
tion, court costs and deficiency in interest in the
matter of said special assessment, in accordance
with the provisions of said Act.
Section 4. That the aggregate amount herein
ordered to be assessed against the property, and
also the assessment on each lot and parcel of land
therein assessed shall be divided into installments
in the manner provided by the statute in such
cases made and provided, and each of said install-
ments shall bear interest at the rate of five (5)
per centum per annum according to law until paid.
Section 5. That for the purpose of anticipating
the collection of the second and succeeding install-
ments of said assessment for said improvement
(excepting such part, if any, that is chargeable to
the City of Chicago for public benefits to public
lands), bonds shall be issued payable out of said

A proposed resolution (presented jointly by Alder-
man Pacini and Alderman Bohling) reading as fol-
lows :
Whereas, The City Council of the City of Chi-
cago has gone on record by means of a former re-

umet Western, Western Indiana, and New York,
Chicago and St. Louis Railway Bridges over the
Calumet River, as authorized in House Document
494, 72nd Congress, 2d Session, 1935, and
Whereas, The City of Chicago transferred all of
its right, title and interest in Lake Calumet to the
Chicago Regional Port District by quitclaim deed
on April 19, 1955, for the purpose of building a
Commercial and Industrial Harbor at Lake Calumet,
Riparian titles surrounding the Lake have been
quieted, boundaries fixed, and a systematic harbor
plan for a deep-draft, lake-rail, truck, and barge
terminal already commenced on October 1st, 1955,
and
Whereas, The Chicago Regional Port District is
expending twenty-four million dollars ($24,000,000)

integrated Commercial and Industrial Harbor — the
entire first phase of which is scheduled for comple-
tion on April 1st, 1957, at which time terminal
operators, grain elevator operators, warehousemen,
barge lines, railroads, and domestic and foreign
shippers will have a unified integrated harbor for
exporting, importing, and trans-shipment of agri-
cultural, manufactured, and bulk products, and
Whereas, Such harbor developments are pre-
dicated on the need for docking facilities for the
largest type of ships in both domestic and foreign
trade, and
Whereas, Aids and benfits to navigation will re-
sult from the modification or replacement of the
aforesaid railway bridges, i.e., the Calumet Western
Railway Bridge, the Chicago and Western Indiana
Railway Bridge, and the New York, Chicago and
St. Louis Railway Bridge, located in the vicinity of
Torrence Avenue and about one mile from the en-
trance to Lake Calumet, as well as the continued
further dredging and widening of the Calumet
River, and
Whereas, The necessary easements to widen and
straighten the Calumet River Channel have been or
are being procured by the Chicago Regional Port
District for the Federal Government for the fur-
therance of said improvements.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, That the City
Council reaffirm its position as favoring the modifi-
cation or replacement of said bridges together with
the widening and straightening of the Calumet
River Channel between Lake Michigan and Lake
Calumet, and the City Council of the City of Chi-
cago again urges the District Engineer, United
States Army Corps of Engineers, to recommend
such bridge and channel improvements.

U. S. Congress Memorialized to Enact Legislation to
Relocate National Library of Medicine in Chicago.
Also a proposed resolution reading as follows:
Whereas, There is pending before the Congress
of the United States, a bill providing for the re-
moval to a more accessible location, the world's
largest medical library; an invaluable instrument
for medical and scientific research, with its more
than 650,000 volumes accumulated since its foun-
dation by the U. S. Army in Washington, D. C.
over 75 years ago, and
Whereas, The library is now crowded into a
Civil War building; its services handicapped for
lack of space and its safety and protection jeopar-
dized by the danger of fire or other natural hazards,
and
Whereas, The bill provides for the renaming of
the library as the National Library of Medicine
and most aptly transferred from the jurisdiction
of the Department of Defense to that of the De-
partment of Health, Education and Welfare; and
further provides that the new library may and
should be moved to a location more readily avail-
able to centers of medical research than is its
present inadequate site, and
Whereas, Chicago is already the Nation's num-
ber one medical center, offering unsurpassed facili-
ties for medical treatment, teaching and research
in the fields of medicine and surgery; is also the
transportation hub of the United States for air,
bus, rail and automobile travel, and
Whereas, If moved to Chicago and housed in a
modem fireproof structure, the new library would
be a storehouse of knowledge, enhancing the city's
fame as a world medical center, and establishing
it as the most acceptable and desirable location
for the benefit of all interested parties from all
parts of the Nation desiring access to the historic
volumes, and
Whereas, His Honor, Mayor Daley is leading the
drive to present Chicago's claim for Congressional
recognition of its pre-eminent position in the medi-
cal field by locating the new library within the con-
fines of the City; and will soon appoint a civic
committee to take charge of the campaign; there-
fore.
Be It Resolved, That the City Council of Chicago
in regular session does hereby unanimously endorse
the campaign for placing Chicago's unmatchable
qualifications as a site for the medical library; and
respectfully memorializes the Congress to give
prompt attention to Chicago's plea, and
Be It Further Resolved, That a copy of this reso-
lution be sent to the United States Senators from
Illinois and the Representatives in the Congress
from the Chicago area and all other Districts of
the State, with the request that they give their
official and personal support to the non-partisan
civic movement to bring to Chicago the largest
and most authentic medical library in the world,
in keeping with Chicago's great reputation for edu-
cation and scientific achievement.
On motion of Alderman Cullerton (seconded by
the entire membership of the City Council) said pro-
posed resolution was unanimously adopted.
